ST legal eagles - the property management company hired by our landlord sent the tenants a notice requiring a $95 lease renewal fee.. WTF?

They say it's due to increased operating costs. How can they bill the tenant for costs associated with their contract with the owner? I didn't hire them.

- Unless it goes to court, that's confidential information. We don't know who the owners are. -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 5, 07:37 1
  - convenient, isn't it. -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 5, 07:37
If it is not in the original lease, I agree. -- nm - Spawn Jun 5, 07:34 6
- Not there. And this is not an apartment complex. We live in a private residence who's owner contracted with the PM to service the rental. -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 5, 07:36 5
  - If it were me, I would look around for something that "Never really bothered us, but think maybe this needs fixed and will cost at least $95" - Spawn Jun 5, 07:42 4

      - Granted, the repair would be paid by the owner so it does not "hurt" the management company, so it may not be good for leverage. - Spawn Jun 5, 07:49 2
        
        MrsCY used to do PM for a bank here in California and she's never heard of such a thing. They offer a service for owners and their costs should be - CrankYanker Jun 5, 07:52 1
        
        Heh. I know! - Spawn Jun 5, 07:53
